We sell footstool frames so you can complete a traditionally upholstered and deep sprung footstool to keep. The frames are made in hard wood by a local carpenter. It is a fast paced course designed to teach many of the traditional Upholstery skills, and the final product is solid and beautiful.
You start with the pre-made frame complete with legs, and are supplied with all the components required as you work through the project, with extensive notes that are yours to keep.
It is fine to make a footstool with no previous upholstery experience.
Deep buttoning is an additional option and is a great skill to learn along side the other traditional upholstery techniques. You may need to book additional lessons to allow time for deep buttoning.
Everything you need to complete the footstool is provided apart from 1m of fabric for the top cover.
You can complete your footstool either on a weekly course or an intensive course.

For a basic stool with traditional upholstery layers you can usually finish your stool within 1 6 week term or a 2 day course.
